Here's a fact about the Constitution: foreigners, ousitde the U.S. have no rights whatever under the Constitution. Neither do they have any obligations under the Constitution. It has no authority over them at all.All actions of the U.S. government towards foreigners ousitde U.S. borders are controlled only by what the President and Congress decide is a good idea. Good ideas may include protecting the U.S. against attack, securing U.S. overseas investments against confiscation, mutually beneficial trade, not having large numbers of people be murdered, preventing the spread of diseases, relieving the suffering from natural disasters, cooperation with other governments against criminals, among other things.The U.S. may adopt policies to achieve such goals. These policies may be enacted into law or treaties, but laws and treaties may be repealed or abrogated at the will of the U.S. they are not permanently binding, and the policies they embody are contingent. This year's good idea may be next year's bad thing.Awlaki was a U.S. citizen, true. But he left the U.S., voluntarily placing himself ousitde the jurisdiction and protection of U.S. laws, and indeed ousitde the reach of U.S. state power. He then engaged in activities which were violently hostile to the U.S. He did not pull the trigger himself, but he recruited those who did.The members of AQitAP are all participants in armed combat against the U.S. As such they are all lia***** to be killed on sight by the U.S. government. This fact is not changed by the intermittency of the combat.Awlaki didn't have special immunity because he had a U.S. passport.BTW, that intermittency confuses a lot of people. If a group of armed hostiles is attacking, the defenders have the right to kill them. Suppose a group of armed hostiles attack on Monday, retreat and regroup on Tuesday, attack again on Wednesday, and retreat and regroup on Thursday. The defenders have the right to follow and destroy them Thursday night, rather than wait for the attack to be renewed on Friday.This rule doesn't really change if instead of Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, one was to say 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011.The deliberate nature of the action is unsettling. But this is a slow battle. If a sniper draws a bead on an enemy, there's no limit on how long he can hold it before he fires.As for the lack of due process, it's not a matter of acting against the interests of the United States , it's making war against the United States . People who make war have war made on them. And there is no due process in war.When President Lincoln was confronted by armed rebellion, he did not deputize additional U.S. marshals to arrest the rebels. He referred to combinations too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the Marshals by law He called up the militia into U.S. service, and ordered them and the regular Army to suppress those combinations by shooting them on sight, with no due process.Awlaki and his gang were such a combination. They had military strength to resist capture therefore the U.S. could use military force against them. When and how that force was used is a matter of convenience, not principle. /glradau.com [url=/usfsbdlkmx.com]usfsbdlkmx[/url] [link=/qdsufqxb.com]qdsufqxb[/link]by Here's a fact about the Constitution: foreigners, ousitde the U.S. have no rights whatever under the Constitution.
